It limits the amount of bandwidth that one IP on a server can push out.
So if you have an IP throttled at 1 meg, then it will never push out more than 1mbps, even if you're getting a million server requests a day.

Downside is that your site will drag ass during peak traffic times. Upside is that you won't get any surprise bandwidth charges.
